My dog Pokey passed away this morning.  I knew it was coming because she was failing very quickly.  Today she lifted her head for one last ear scratch and faded into the next life.

She was a part of mine for 12 years.  I loved her and she loved me.

Life on the farm just won't be the same without her.  I'm going to bury her next to the tulip tree that was planted in my niece's honor.

She was such a good girl.

    Oh...  I'm so sorry CeeDub...  May Pokey chase and catch many a cars... 

    My condolences... 

    Any plans of getting a new critter to keep you company?  Or is that too soon?

    Oh CW!  I'm so sorry to hear about her passing.  I know you've mentioned her in your blogs but had no idea she was ill.  {{{hugs}}}  I'm sure she'll rest peacefully under the tulip tree.

    Grape,
    Thank you. 

    There are three other dogs here that love me too.  Pokey was their mother.  Maybe in the spring we'll get a new puppy.  No definite plans.

    uni,
    Thank you.  I thought it would be a special place to lay her to rest.  She's been failing for several months.  I'm just happy that I got to tell her I loved her one more time.

    So sorry, CW. Pets dying always saddens me.

      I'm sorry CreativeWoman, I know how you feel. It will take time but you'll be ok, he's in a better place now and he'll patiently be waiting for you.  I bury all my pets to, it's never easy and brings on many tears :o( .    Hell, I buried my dog Pee-Wee a beautiful black chihuahua years and years ago. He lived to be about eighteen, he used to help me take my socks off :o) . I kid you not, I went out in the middle of the night and buried him on the grounds of a popular golf coarse. Still, even to this day whenever I know somebody is going to play golf there I ask them to say a little prayer for Pee-Wee when you play the ninth hole.

    So sorry to hear this.  I've lost a couple of special pets before and I know exactly how it feels.  I know you'll keep the memories alive of your days with your Pokey, and that's the best thing you can do.  I didn't remember this particular pet from your blogs, but no matter.  Maybe you will feel like posting some remembered stories later on down the line.

    woman,
    Thank you.  She was very special.

    beyond,
    I didn't write about her a lot specifically, but she was a good friend. 

    queen,
    Thank you.  She did have a long happy life.

    Lucy,
    Thank you.  I know you understand.

    CayenneMan,
    I like to think that ol' Pokey is in heaven frolicking with my niece.  It sounds like your Pee Wee was super special to you. 

    wombat,
    Thank you.  I haven't written about her by name too terribly much.   There's no particular reason for that.  I think I did post a photo of her once.

    CW, so sorry to hear about this.  (((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))

    Oh, CDub...  This touches my heart -- I'm so sorry for your loss.  Losing a canine or feline family member is just so heart breaking.  I think burying her near your niece's tree is a very fitting gesture.

    I think I remember you posting a picture of her a while back.  I know she had a good life on the farm with you.  {{{{hugs}}}}

    i am so sorry that you lost your good girl, Pokey. 12 yrs is a long time. (hug)

    i know how i would feel so ((HUG)) sigh

  • pusscat said 13 days ago....
    Oh hun, I'm so sorry to read of this.  Our furry little family members are such a joy to us aren't they?  12 wonderful years you loved her and she loved you and those memories will come with smiles instead of tears with time.  I know how much it hurts.  I'm sending you lots of love and hugs and a big tickle behind the ear for Pokey too.  
  • MsBradford07 said 13 days ago....
    I am sorry to hear that.

    trav,
    Thank you.

    Hege,
    Thank you.

    Mimi,
    Thank you.  I know she loved it here.  She never left the place even though she could have.  Beneath the window of whatever room I was in was where she liked to be whenever she wasn't out working the cows with my husband.

    MsStar,
    Thank you.

    MMI,
    That's very true.  Thanks.

    pusscat,
    It does help to remember the good times.  I'm happy she went peacefully. Thanks.

    MsBradford,
    Thank you.

    Dear Woman,  yes, my heart goes out to you. Only a dog lover knows what you are going through. We lost our Dobergirl a about 20 months ago... after 131/2 years! She was so close. I would take her for walks and didn't have even a collar on her. I still miss her... and feel deeply for you.
       Maybe we will all meet one day.... in dog heaven....

    steppenwolf,
    Thank you.  My condolences on your dear friend as well.
